RE: How Has The Pandemic Changed My Future Plans?

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago

Thank you! I'm not sure how old you are but I notice this attitude of not caring has grown with me naturally as I get older. What kind of a book did you write? The key to promotion is to build your platform/readership first then you have a built in audience who wants to read your work. Also, capture email addresses so you can communicate directly with those readers independent from any third-party platform with an email newsletter. I learned that painful lesson prior to finding Steemit/Hive. I had built a huge readership on Facebook then Facebook monetized and limited my outreach to readers. It was a total nightmare and I had to rebuild completely but was able to do it thanks to this community.

Sort:  

I'm in my mid-30's and yeah, it definitely has to do with age and experience, but it's accelerated a lot.

I think my biggest problem in promoting my fiction is that I'm not much of a reader so I am not connected to any kind of reader communities and I'm balancing a lot of other projects and communities. Learning step by step though. I'm finding nice blog readers at hive and building a business at twitter, so hopefully I can connect it all one day. Looking forward to reading more from you!
